Photothermal conversion is a directly, sustainable, and green path to use solar energy and the one of the most important keys is the photothermal conversion material. How to obtain the durable and effective material for photothermal conversion with low cost and facile preparation is still a great challenge. In this work, the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are grown on the carbon fibers (CFs) via the catalysis of trapped Fe and Co. The absorption of the as-prepared CFs/CNTs illustrate the enhancement from the visible light to the near-infrared light range. The photothermal conversion characterization shows the grown CNTs promoting the higher surface temperature and the highest temperature reaches to about 325 °C under 10 sun irradiations. The water evaporation on the CFs/CNTs is measured 1.40 ± 0.03 kg·cm·h under 1 sun irradiation and the water evaporation rate is also found depending on the irradiation density. The photothermal conversion applications and the water evaporation under natural irradiation also reveal the suitable candidate of the CFs/CNTs for photothermal conversion application. This work provides a facile path to obtain effective carbon-based materials for photothermal application.

The hydrogenation of carbon dioxide into profitable chemicals is a viable path toward achieving the objective of carbon neutrality. However, the typical approach for hydrogenation of CO heavily relies on thermally driven catalysis at high temperatures, which is not aligned with the goals of carbon neutrality. Thus, there is a critical need to explore new catalytic methods for the high-efficiency conversion of CO.

CO conversion to CHOH under mild conditions is of particular interest yet rather challenging. Both electro- and thermo-catalytic CO reduction to CHOH can only produce CHOH in low concentration (typically mixed with water), requiring energy-intensive purification processes. Here we design a sun-simulated-driven tandem catalytic system comprising CO electroreduction to syngas, and further photothermal conversion into high-purity CHOH (volume fraction > 97%).

Recent advances in interfacial solar steam generation have made direct solar desalination a promising approach for providing cost-effective and environmentally friendly clean water solutions. However, developing highly effective, salt-resistant solar absorbers for long-term desalination at high efficiencies and evaporation rates remains a significant challenge. We present a Janus hydrogel-based absorber featuring a surface modified with thermo-responsive hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) and a hydrogel matrix containing photothermal conversion units, MXene, specifically designed for long-term seawater desalination.

Maxillofacial injuries that may cause severe functional and aesthetic damage require effective and immediate management due to continuous exposure to diverse microbial populations. Moreover, drug resistance, biofilm formation, and oxidative stress significantly impede timely bacterial removal and immune function, making the exploration of advanced materials for maxillofacial wound healing an appealing yet highly challenging task. Herein, a near-infrared photothermal sterilization agent was designed, encapsulated with liposomes and coated with ascorbic acid known for its antioxidant and immune-regulatory functions.
